Guests of all ages can participate, but children must be at least 42 inches tall to tube alone. The tubing hill is walk-up (not lift serviced). Dress appropriately, warm clothing, including gloves and winter footwear are advised. For everyone’s safety, ski and other hard shell boots are not permitted. Have fun!

Fat Biking

The Adventure Center has several trails designated for daily fat bike use, see trail report for open trails. Additional terrain open for fat biking on Sundays and Thursdays as conditions allow.

Go where you can't with your mountain bike. What started as a way for cyclists to ride through the winter, now is a fun, year-round activity on terrain that was once un-rideable (snow, sand, and mixed-condition trails).

The wide, or FAT, tires and low tire pressure (4 inch minimum with a PSI of less than 15) roll like a snowshoe over snow and sand. The low tire pressure gives great traction in the snow and over rocks and roots.
